Repost from Tfw2005 but relevant.


Thought I'd post these pics up since they're pretty rare toys.

Kabaya is a company that specialises in making cheap toys that come with a piece of candy. They can be either original characters or licensed characters like Transformers and Braves. One of their licensed lines is from Denkou Chojin (Electronic Superhuman) Gridman.

This line of candy toy comes in a set of 3. Each box shows a pic of Gridman or one of his upgrades. But weirdly it does not show any pics of the toys.



The toys come unassembled.









Set 1 contains the Thunder Jet and God tank.



Set 2 contains Gridman himself, Twin Driller and Dyna Fighter.



And set 3 contains the King Jet.



Gridman himself is rather plain. He has articulation at his shoulders, elbows (inwards) and hips. Not a whole lot. He comes with his sword (one piece).



He cant really hold the Dyna Fighter as a cannon since it causes him to fall over. This is the best he can do...



Thunder Jet, God Tank and Twin Driller together. Pretty standard build.



Like in Super Sentai, these three vehicles can combine together. The drill tips on Twin Driller have to be removed in order to combine...



Combined they form God Zenon who can support Gridman in times of need. Again minimal articulation. Shoulders (outward as well as forward), hips (outward again) and head (kind small so not really practicall to move it). The transformation is pretty accurate to the DX toy.

Instead of ending the combination there, God Zennon can also link up with Gridman too. This time two small 'connectors' are need to connect Gridman to the God Tank.



Combined they form Gattai Choujin (Combination Super God) Thunder Gridman. What Gridman had for articulation is what Thunder Gridman has. Except very restricted due to the new armor. Interestingly Thunder Gridman's face isnt molded in. They just give him a HUGE visor piece with a hole under it to see Gridman's faceplate. Except you can't see it because of the red plastic being so bright.



Next is King Jet and Dyna Fighter. King Jet is the biggest vehicle of the 5 and takes the longest time to build.



They can combine together to form the Dragon Fortress. Just adds two tail find at the back...



Dragon Fortress can then transform into the Dyna Dragon. More parts need removing to transform.



Dyna Dragon has surprising amounts of articultion. His hips and knees move, head, and his arms (three joints each).



Gridman with Dyna Dragon.



Combining Dyna Dragon and Gridman forms Gattai Ryutei (Combination Dragon Emperor) King Gridman. Slightly Taller than Thunder Gridman and less chunkier because of how the parts do not cover him as much as Thunder Gridman's.



Gridman with both God Zenon and Dyna Dragon.



DX and Kabaya comparisons.

















So pretty cool. Not really worth the price I paid (at least it wasnt Yahoo prices) But need small versions of Gridman.
